Ford did use a hood tach on around 1970 cars like the boss mustang. I think it was a dealer option and it was made by Dixco. They are alot more cheesy looking in quality than the pontiac ones IMO, but they are worth alot more because of the rarity. I had actually bought one from JC whitney a long time ago for like 40 bucks because I thought it may have been the correct one for a pontiac(they had just a drawing in the book). Well it was taller than a pontiac one, had an adjustable redline needle on the face, was just cheapo looking to me and I didnt like the looks of it. So it sat in my closet. Fast forward like 10 years I find some of them on ebay in the same box being sold as a Boss/Mach 1 Mustang Dixco hood tach and they were all selling for well over 500 bucks. Needless to say I put mine on ebay and fetched over 600 bucks for it I wish I would have bought out JC whitney of them back then. ANYWAYS, the moral of the story is, I dont know what ford your friend has, but some of them did have a hood tach as a dealer option and would be correct if he loves them so much. I do like mine and whenever people see it that have never heard of such a thing, they think its just the coolest thing .
